The International Court of Justice held yet another hearing on Tuesday focused on Israel’s self-defense in Gaza, this time brought by Nicaragua against Germany. Nicaragua is asking the international court to order Germany to stop supplying Israel with weapons, as yet another “provisional measure” targeting the Jewish state under the Genocide Convention.

In the past 10 days, one brave column, along with the lack of internal outrage over a separate, truly awful column, together speak volumes about the ethical rot infecting the liberal legacy media. Let’s take the awful column first. On April 8, the New York Times published a “guest essay” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict called […]
“Taxes,” former Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge tells us in his new book, Taxocracy, “rule nearly every aspect of our daily lives.” In the course of 335 pages, Hodge backs up that statement, showing how the tax code can explain everything from the size and shape of buildings to why songwriters all suddenly started selling […]

President Joe Biden (or aides acting in his name) declared Easter Sunday to be “Transgender Day of Visibility.” While Biden is only the second Catholic president and says he attends mass, he appears to harbor a grudge against the Church, repeatedly targeting its practices and personnel.

When are we going to trust our fellow Americans again?

They say every town is a border town when President Joe Biden refuses to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, and that proved true for Rasshauud Scott who was shot dead while attempting to help two illegal immigrants commit visa fraud. Thanks to Biden’s catch-and-release policies on the southern border, cities throughout the United States are […]
University of South Carolina coach Dawn Staley completed a magical championship season. Her team went undefeated, and she won her second college basketball championship in three years and third since 2017. She is unquestionably one of the sport’s greatest coaches of all time.

In an explosive new op-ed, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that at least 15 separate federal agencies knew that attempts to create a COVID-19-like coronavirus were being undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as early as January 2018.
